Mmm. Sexiest. Camera. Ever.

More at my Flickr :)

I’m getting a Nikon D40x tomorrow. I’m very excited, but sad to say goodbye to my current camera. It’s done me well!

I took some photos of the clouds tonight to say goodbye.

Last exam is on Saturday. Will do a proper blog then. :)

Yeah. This is the to-do-list of all to-do-lists. I really need to do all of this (possibly some of it twice or three times) before leaving for my holiday. :)

1. Tidy the apartment. Well. like … Spring Clean type tidy. And considering it’s spring, it’s kind of appropriate. Yeah.
2. Clean the balcony. That layer of grime and dust can finally come off considering the buildings across the road have finally been completed, and won’t add too much more dust to my poor balcony.
3. Sort out your closet: Get rid of crap you’re never going to wear again. Get rid of stuff that doesn’t fit. Hang things up. Tidy up the shoes. Sell the shoes you’re never going to wear.
4. Reformat your Macbook. It’s slow, tedious, and doesn’t really like you too much at the moment. If you’re feeling considerate, Buy MacOS Leopard, and install that on both computers.
5. Exercise! Jeez, you’ve packed on a few the past two years. Use that bloody gym membership and GET GOING.
6. Once you’ve lost a few kegs, convince dad that a new wardrobe is a totally appropriate (and required) Christmas present. Go shopping. Don’t forget a new swimsuit and boardies!
7. Get your hours up at work. It’s not like you’ve got anything better to do until you leave for Sydney… Or anything better to do once you’re back from Sydney.
8. Splurge money from said hours on a Nikon D40x? Why? Because you want to.OHYEAH.
9. Figure out what to buy the family for Christmas. Don’t spend TOO much money because you know dad will be on your arse about it for the rest of the Holiday.
10. See your bloody friends. Yes, that includes Uni friends and Sydney friends.
11. Don’t forget your Cousins!
12. Apply for your +18 NZ card. That way you don’t have to carry your fucking passport whenever you want to get booze.
13. Oh, Shit. Don’t forget to vote in the Australian Elections in November… was it the 23rd or 24th? Either way, get it over and done with at the Australian Embassy before the date, otherwise you’ll be putting off that sexy little camera and paying off a stupid fine. Bloody Australian government.
14. When back from holiday, get that website project going you’ve been talking about to some friends for months. It’ll be good for you.
15. Apply for Semester 1, 2008, and make sure your classes and timetable don’t suck as much preverbial penis as this semester’s did.
16. Read more.
17. Clock Zelda, Phantom Hourglass AND Zelda, Twilight Princess.
18. I suppose that last one would involve actually having the Wii. Get the thing off James.
19. Vexel more.
20. Take more photos.
21. Explore around Auckland. Maybe take a train trip into the middle of nowhere one day, take photos, and return.
22. Add more to this list.

I’ve done literally nothing but study for a week an a half, and I’ve exhausted myself. My first exam was this morning (9am on a Saturday! - What is this world coming to!?) and I think I did reasonably well. It was my exam for Physics 107, the Astronomy course. I had to write three essays, each on one of the topics covered, and I’m fairly sure I got at least 80% in each of them. I’m proud of myself, to tell you the truth! :)

My next exam is next Friday, and my last exam is on Saturday. I have a fair amount of time to learn the stuff, considering I’ve already done most of my notes for the two courses. I’ll take the rest of my study easier the next couple of days, because I don’t want to exhaust myself. :)

Will update more at the end of next week.
